Subject: hi from bianca

I hope she wasn't at that internet cafe a long time waiting for my reply.

Hi,
i am here sitting in the internet caffe. Found your email and decided to write. I am 25 y.o.girl. I have a picture if you want. No need to reply here as this is not may email. Write me at abianca487@supervisioncare.info

Big surprise that supervisioncare.info leads back to the same Russian/Ukranian dating site that so many of these emails lead to.

Ah, love is the air. Also scamming.

Miss Maria Beshir
(Beshir Family)
Rue 15 Paris Village
Abidjan Cote d Ivoire

I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you aboundantly and you would never regreat this.

I am a female student from University of Abidjan, Cocody campus. I am 19yrs old. I'did like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction.

Well, my father died earlier two months ago. He was a kin (Traditonal King), which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my motheris not literate enough to know all my father's wealth.He left the sum of USD 7,500, 000.00 dollars (Seven Million, Five Hundred a Thousand US Dollars) in a local bank here in my country .This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company (S.P.D.C) and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town. Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to TRANSFER this money from the local bank into your account . I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.

I am ready to offer 10% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in transfering this fund, kindly reach me.

email:maria_beshir04@yahoo.fr

Please, note that this transaction is 100% is free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible.

Subject: is it you? cristina here

Now I'm being offered nude photos and threatened with no more spam if I don't write back. No, anything but that!

Hi
It`s cristina again. Will you ever contact me?
I made those nude pictures especially for you and I wont write to you again!
If you wanna see them just drop me a line at: bcristina4@springemail.info

The domain leads back to the strangely named Lovewather.com. (The love I understand, but the wather doesn't ring a bell.) It's also exactly the same site as Heartsattach.com, mentioned below, but the women don't have the black bars across their eyes. The domain owner has a UK address.

Update 5/9/07: I found an interesting thread about lovewather.com and other related dating scam sites.

Love at first spam

Like I said yesterday, it's spring and love (or the spam version of it) is in the air. I've gotten multiple emails from females (or guys pretending to be females) looking either for Mr. Right (or Mr. Moneybags).

Do not ignore me please,
I found your email somewhere and now decided to write you.
Let me know if you do not mind. If you want I can send you some pictures of me.
I am a nice pretty girl. Don't reply to this email.
Email me direclty at dstacy0@highfindme.info

Wow, you found my email somewhere and now you want to send me pictures? Cool! Actually, I don't care. Go away.

Highfindme.info isn't actually a website currently (although I could've sworn I was redirected to a Russian or Ukrainian dating site when I last tried it a few weeks ago), but a simple Google search shows that emails from this domain are spread around the web like fertilizer.

I can't prove it, but I think the above email originated from the same place as this one:

My name is stephany. I found your email on that dating site.
I also love sex on the side. I have a loving partner but he is working 16 hours a day and we have sex only once a week :(
If you are interested and wanna see my pictures just email me at cstephany07@springemail.info
Don`t reply, use the email above (my boyfriend doesn`t know about that email!)

Linda (clinda64@mindspringemail.info) and Kourtney (ckourtney51@springdalepost.info) sent me the exact same email.

Only the first two domains point to actual websites, and those lead back to Heartsattach.com, the domain owner has a US address, but all of the women seem to be in the former USSR. I like this site because all of the women's photos have black bars over their eyes making it somewhat creepy, which I'm sure wasn't intentional.

The next two are easier to track down.

I am larisa, I am young lady of 27 years old, I live in Russia and I
really want to create a strong family. Is visiting Russia in your future plans?
Please, drop me some words to:
mailto:larisa@loveladies2u.com

------------------

I am marina, I am from Moscow. Russia.
I am dreaming to find my real man. Maybe this is you? What do you think
about it? Please, write me a reply here:

Now the emails from the three ladies (or whatever) above have addresses from Dating Agency Russia, which (big surprise) is actually located in Russia. Maybe they are a legitimate dating service, but randomly spamming people is a sleazy way to go about business.

I think this email originates from Dating Agency Russia as well because of the similarity of the domain name, but the domain doesn't point to a website:

My name is inna, I am from Russia and I want to find my second half.
Do you still believe in love? Please, tell me more about you:

mailto:inna@girlsmessages4u.org

I kind of like the idea of finding love via spam. When asked how you met your wife, you can say, "Well, she spammed me."

Subject: My name is Alena

Ah, it's spring and love is the air. Or rather love is in my inbox. But I fear that Alena isn't a young, intelligent Slavic beauty. No, instead she's probably a hairy fat guy named Sergey. Such is modern romance.

How are you? My name is Alena. I from Russia, city Cheboksary. To me 28 years. I shall tell to you about myself a little.

I corresponded with the man from the your country before. His name Mark. He is from your country. We had a long correspondence and Mark wanted, that I have arrived to him in the your country that I have seen what life there. We have together submitted the statement on reception of the visa in your country! Mark spoke, that will help my in our meeting. I thought, that have met on the Internet the love.

I and Mark made the big plans for the future, but in a flash all has changed. From the moment of submission of the statement for the application of the visa has passed 5 months. For these five months there was for what I least waited. Mark informed, that his former wife has returned to him and lives together with him. Soon they should get married. And now in Mark plans there is no me. I wrote to him some times after that, but Mark have wished me only good luck in the further searches worthy men and have told, that our ways miss. And in October to me there has come the invitation in embassy behind reception of the visa.

In the beginning I wanted to throw out the invitation in embassy. To me it was sad, because my dreams were failed, I have nobody to fly in the your country. But my uncle have dissuaded me from resolute actions and have told, that else there is a chance to find worthy the man and to use the visa to a meeting with him. I well know English and practically I have visa your country. My uncle speaks, that it really solves many problems.

Approximately in 7 days the visa will be ready, and I should go to Moscow behind reception of the visa. I write to you because in my heart there is an empty seat. I do not search rich or poor. I search careful and responsible man which wants to enjoy a life together. Is this person you? I think, that I ask not much. I have told to you a little about my life. I have told not all about myself, but it will be easier to me to write about myself if you will ask questions which interest you. I have told to you my history, and now I shall look forward to hearing from you with impatience. Write to me! I shall send you more photo in the following letter. I wait you answer. Alena.

P.S. I shall answer with pleasure if you write to me on: VAlena179V@yandex.ru
